Subject: A Bit of Humor in Tense Times

Post by VidaEterna! »

A Montana cowboy is overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advances out of a dust cloud
towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray
Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd,
will you give me a calf?"

The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer,
connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA
page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation
system to get an exact fix on his location, which he then feeds to
another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution
photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and
exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within
seconds, he receives an e-mail on his Palm Pilot that the image has
been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database
through an ODBC-connected Excel spreadsheet with e-mail on his
Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech,
miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and turns to the cowboy and says, "You
have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the
cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on
amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the cowboy says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly
what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why
not?"

You're a Congressman for the United States Government," says the
cowboy.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required," answered the cowboy. "You show up here even
though nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already
know, to a question I never asked. You try to show me how much smarter
than me you are, and you don't know a thing about cows; this is a herd
of sheep. Now give me back my dog."
